The Vikings announced they exercised the fourth-year option on his Wednesday,Toms Shoes, helping Frazier avoid what would have been a lame-duck season in 2013 while also giving the team some flexibility going forward.
Coach Frazier has done a remarkable job in building a strong foundation for the Minnesota Vikings and creating a very positive future, Vikings owner Mark Wilf said in a statement issued by the team. We value his leadership and look forward to working with him for many years to come.
Frazier was entering the final year of his deal, and talks of an extension started to become an issue publicly as the Vikings mounted a stunning December run to the playoffs. Stuck at 6-6 and without injured receiver Percy Harvin, the Vikings rode Adrian Peterson to four straight victories, including a thriller over Green Bay in the regular-season finale to thrust them into the postseason,http://www.masenv.com/.

In deciding to exercise the option rather than extend Frazier s deal out further, Vikings ownership could be looking to avoid what burned them with their previous coaching hire. While Brett Favre was leading the Vikings to the top of the NFC North and a 12-4 record in 2009, Zygi and Mark Wilf gave Childress a contract extension through 2013. That deal came back to bite them the next season when things went so poorly so quickly that they felt compelled to fire Childress 10 games into that deal, a decision they re still paying for this year.
Frazier s agent,nasaqi.com, Bob LaMonte, said there have not been negotiations on a longer-term extension with the Vikings.
Frazier took over for the fired Childress with six games to go in the 2010 season,Toms Shoes Sale. He went 3-3 to finish that season, 3-13 in his first full year in 2011 and 10-6 in 2012.
